You have a new belt right ? So the squealing is most likely the tensioner and under load the belt is slipping on the water pump pulley.

I've seen transmissions overheat and it boils around the cooler in the radiator tank.
Otherwise the rest was normal temp.

Its probably a head gasket.

Get one of these-------> http://www.automotive-diagnostic-too...v%20560000.htm

You take the radiator cap off and install this tool. Let the car run and pump the tool. If the fluid in the tool changes color that means it has detected combustion gases in the coolant.
